Red and orange at the top, then pink, yellow, purple and green: the rows run down through the left side of the picture. Each folded pinwheel repeats the same four-part shape.

The dark trunks give those colours a firm background. High on the right, the sun breaks through, lighting the thin paper at its edges and leaving the spaces between the rows open.
